Specification of Letters. Patent. Application filed February 9, 1912. Serial 1:10. 678,588.

'1 '0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRANK J. WILSON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Albuquerque, in the county of Bernalillo and State of New Mexico, have invented certain new and useful Im rovements in Pickling Compounds, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a compound for pickling meats and has as its object to provide a compound which is to be added to the pickling water fo:' the purpose of rendering the water hard, and which will to a certain extent reduce the time required for the pickling process and will,byits-use, resultin a more thorough and better treatment of the meats than by the use of the ordinary pickling brine or similar pickling solutions.

I have found by actual use of the compound, embodying this invention that meats cured by the use thereof possess a flavor which is not obtainable by the use merely of brine or any of the well-known pickling solutions.

In preparing a quantity of the compound embodying the present invention for solution in approximately one million cubic-centimeters of 'water there are employed the following ingredients substantially in the proportions stated Calcium bicarbonate 666.20 Magnesium bicarbonate 264.60 Iron bicarbonate 8.20 Sodium bicarbonate 79.20 Sodium chlorid 590.00 Sodium sulfate 15.20

and potassium nitrate added to the solution varies according as to whether the pickle is to be strong, mild or sweet.

Patented Oct. 1, 1912.

Having thus described the invention what I is claimed as new is 1. A pickling compound consisting of calcium bicarbonate, magnesium bicarbonate, iron bicarbonate, sodium bicarbonate, sodlum V chlorid, and sodium sulfate.

2. A pickling compound consisting of calcium bicarbonate, magnesium bicarbonate, iron bicarbonate, sodium bicarbonate, sodium chlorid, and sodium-sulfate in about the proportions of calcium bicarbonate 666.20, magnesium bicarbonate 264.60, iron bicarbonate 8.20, sodium bicarbonate 79.20, sodium chlorid 590.00, sodium sulfate In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
